The House of Helvetia — our Eurovision fan event in Basel — is about to open its doors. Join us on the campus of Swiss insurer Helvetia as we welcome the stars of Eurovision 2025 between Saturday 10 May and Saturday 17 May at Helvetia Campus, St. Alban-Anlage 26 in the auditorium.
Artists will generally attend for one hour. They’ll sit on our lounge chairs for a live interview in front of an audience. Afterwards, we’ll open up questions to the audience. Then some acts will choose to perform a short set — or maybe just their Eurovision song. Artists then have the option to pose for pics with fans.
HOUSE OF HELVETIA SCHEDULE
We will be updating the schedule below continuously in the week ahead. We are only including the publicly confirmed artists for now.
Our scheduling for the Friday and Saturday leading into the grand final will be announced closer to the day, but will run between 12:00 and 16:00. Eliminated acts and stars from Eurovisions past are on the horizon. And we’ll also have special panel discussions about this year’s competition. So stay tuned.

Helvetia have created a WhatsApp channel where they will post program highlights from their campus, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes moments.

Helvetia’s Basel campus is very well located: It’s just a 10-minute walk from the main station and a 10-minute walk from the city centre. It sits exactly between the Eurovision Village (12 minutes away by tram) and the Eurovision 2025 arena St. Jakobshalle (7 minutes by tram).
The nearby St. Alban area is an upscale residential district where you’ll walk past gorgeous villas and Gothic and baroque merchant’s houses. You’ve probably seen its narrow, winding streets and historical buildings online. Among them is the St. Alban-Tor (St.Alban’s Gate), dating back to around 1400. It was part of the fortifications of the old walled city and is now a gateway to the city’s medieval history.
Aeschenplatz is another adjoining area. It’s known for its bustling square, lively atmosphere and the iconic “Botta building.” Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
What else can you see? The gorgeous auditorium where we’ll be hosting performances, interviews and fan meet-and-greets. Check it out above.
More details coming soon. As for now, who do you want to see at the House of Helvetia? Let us know down below.
Can you post the schedule for today so that I can decide whether to drive into town? ? Is anything happening?
Still no schedule update for today and tomorrow… why?
Gabry Ponte & Lucio Corsi!!!!!!
Oh my God! What a tough time listening to Beligums entry! How can this be in the top ten be the odds?
Truth! It should NQ
Is Italy coming around for one of meet and greet session?
Will Erika be there? I’d love that ?
Where to watch the Turquoise Carpet live?^^
Really hoping that William will be able to do his usual carpet interviews. It’s one of the bet parts of the week.
I’ll just have landed in Basel for when there’s an artist I’d like to see. Can you accommodate large suitcases? I had one with me in Malmo without problem, but does this venue allow?
I heard Malta was announced but I can’t see Miriana on the schedule.
Just seen it. I’ll be on the plane then ?
Cool!! Kann man beim Public Viewing am 17. vor der Leinwand gemütlich sitzen und essen?
Sounds exciting! Enjoy!
Have a good time.
Lets hope so
How much will the tickets cost? Or is the event free? Especially asking for the public viewing on Saturday. Looking forward so much!
No tickets needed, just show up with good spirit and enthusiasm 🙂
